I am so tired of NVC... after waiting 56 days I called to find out the status of my wife's case and this rude lady answered the phone, I don’t know if I was wrong but the way I see it is that I paid fees, I submitted the documents, I pay taxes... so I got loud and she did not like that, why do I have to listen to rude people, if they had a bad day .. so did I... anyway!!!

Why can't I edit my posts?? :|

I have all my employment for the last 10 years ready but I can't see where to input it. The question asks me "do you have other occupations" which is a truthful "no" - I am not working in any other occupations at the moment (this is, after all, the present employment section). Do I leave it at "no" and move on?

I don't believe you can put simultaneous addresses. I'd put the one that you considered your mailing address, that was used on forms and such.

Then yes, include a little paragraph about it on the cover letter, although I doubt it'll be an issue.

Do I leave it at "no" and move on?

For regular members, I think you only have like 3 or 5 minutes or something to edit posts. So, once that time frame has passed, no more editing.

Previous employment is only asked in certain situations. If you go over the DS-260 example provided in the wiki, it states exactly what situations in which you'll be asked for previous employment.

I must be totally dense because I can't see where it says that on either the screenshots or the example that I downloaded :(

I also wasn't asked about my education .. did I miss it somehow? The questions: "Were you previously employed" and "Have you attended any educational institutions at a secondary level or above" were just straight up not on my DS-260..

I'll give you the quick answer to your employment question. Since you're a woman who is currently working and not from a high fraud country you don't need any other information other than your current employment. If you weren't currently employed you'd probably have to give all 10 years worth.

Edit: I'm a girl from Canada who is employed and I didn't have to give them anything other than my current employment. Didn't ask for my schooling either. Do not stress over it.

It's not from the original screenshots link. NVC released this DS-260 exemplar from back in October and it's in that one. It's linked in my wiki if you go have a look.

I diiiiiiiiiid but it's okay. I am blind I think. I'm happy with my responses. It's a bit nerve wracking to put in so many addresses (11!) I hope it doesn't make me look itinerant :| I
